I'm not a novice in leathercraft, knew few tips before Peter's tutorials, but if you want to learn and improve your skill to highest level, you cannot find better way. Everything - from quality of video to way Peter teach you - is such a quality and consistent content that you don't have a choice but to improve yours goods again and again.

If you’re interested in learning the art and craft of leather work, Peter Nitz is the go to guy for the job. He’s created a fantastic online tutorial service that walks students of all experience levels through the specific details of fine leather work. I cannot speak highly enough of the level of care and support Peter provides his students. 5 stars all the way!

Absolutely amazing tutorials. Peter’s great tips and easy to follow instructions helped to improve and perfect many of my leather crafting techniques. Uniters edge came alive on my projects and frustration of matching pocket edges on the wallet is gone, replaced by great stitches and beautiful corners. I am looking forward to learn more from new tutorials!!! Thank you!!!
